From ce48b2100785e5ca629fb3aa8e3b50aca808f692 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Michael Neuling Date: Wed, 25 Jun 2008 14:07:18 +1000 Subject: powerpc: Add VSX context save/restore, ptrace and signal support This patch extends the floating point save and restore code to use the VSX load/stores when VSX is available. This will make FP context save/restore marginally slower on FP only code, when VSX is available, as it has to load/store 128bits rather than just 64bits. Mixing FP, VMX and VSX code will get constant architected state. The signals interface is extended to enable access to VSR 0-31 doubleword 1 after discussions with tool chain maintainers. Backward compatibility is maintained. The ptrace interface is also extended to allow access to VSR 0-31 full registers.
